I said it is *most easy* to work with *standard* 4/4 loops in Bitwig,
and *not* that that is the only thing you can do. And it is so, because
Bitwig comes with a Gigabyte of sampled loops, that are exactly that:
standardized 4/4 segments for popular mainstream electronica.

Of course you would play it and record to hard disk and that was what I
meant. Could it be, that some people in fact think, that Bitwig is
MIDI-only? It is not even really MIDI but OSC as I mentined before and
of course it is a full-featured HD-recorder too (though not as strongly
optimized for HD-recording as Ardour)
1.) play a few tracks free jazz or 12-tone style
compositions and apply
some evil fantasy regarding sound and you have something that would be
considered "avantgarde" with bitwig the same as easy.
MIDI wasn't made to play Ornette Coleman compositions.

And what's called (Free) Jazz nowadays usually has nothing to do with
music. They even call Mike Patton a Jazz or at least an avant garde
musician, for my taste he isn't a musician at all. MIDI was made to
produce pop music and Linux MIDI sequencers have several weak points,
that other MIDI sequencers don't have. 12-tone is something different,
but you likely will use hard disk recording and less MIDI for 12-tone
music too. It works most easy when you are out for 4/4 stuff
structured as common
in pop.
And common for many, if not most Jazz compositions too. However, you can
use MIDI for 7/8 as good as for 4/4. Perhaps you used the wrong
sequencers or I didn't notice that your post is just an April Fools'
joke.
